Indirect Romeo and Juliet

Summary:Sakura's greatest fear came to pass and left her shattered in pieces. Neji lost her and feared he'll never get her back. Tsunade just wishes that she could make peace with the vampires before they start war. So what does she do when she sees her heartbroken apprentice smiling again after three months while walking with the future Vampire king? Mostly NejiSaku with KanaSaku. NOT a tragic story!

AN: Hi everyone! I'm back with a new story, yeah I still have the phone problem, but I'm working with it! I'm still a little upset that very few commented on my oneshot, Of You Can't Hang. Was it that bad :( Well, here's the one I promised-and just in time for Valentines Day! Look at the key below because I don't feel like repeating it again in later chapters...

CHAPTER 1: Unexpected Surprise

Sakura and her ANBU team traveled back to Konaha in top speed. They had just finished an A ranked mission. She knew that her team was tired, but she was anxious to get back home. She needed to talk to Neji. They really had gotten on the wrong foot the last talk -well, argument- they had. (They always have arguments. It is, after all how they ended up together in the first place.)

Just a few months ago, the Hyuga elders agreed that Neji could be the can leader. But there was a catch-he had to be engaged (no surprise there) and the perfect women they thought was the best for him and the clan was NOT Sakura, but another women from Sound named Rin. Sakura increased her speed just thinking about was a pretty women with amber eyes and long dark brown hair. She was taller than Sakura (then again everyone is taller than Sakura now), and she had some experience in the medical field. When the sound kunochi came, Sakura told Neji that maybe he should just be with Rin instead so he could be head of the clan. Sakura did not want to be in the young Hyuga's way of his dream, but Neji would have it. He would rather stay a branch child and be with her than be a clan head and with a stranger.

Sakura smiled at the thought as she slowed down a little. Neji was so sweet sometimes-only she saw it though with other emotions he hides under his mask. It wasn't until Neji's uncle, Hiashi, convinced Neji to just meet the woman so he could have a chance to be the clan head. It wasn't that Hiashi didn't like Sakura, in fact, he thought that Sakura would be an excellent addition to the clan, it's just that Hyuga elders plan to be very difficult and stubborn. So Neji did just talked with Rin, and Sakura didn't mind-until she realized that Rin suddenly took all of her and Neji's time together, but by then it was too late.

At first Sakura used to see Neji everyday, but then it turned to every other day, to once a week, to even once a month. Sakura knew he wasn't on missions because her shishou let him off so he could deal with clan-related issues. So one day , she went to look for him, only to find him with Rin. Sakura only been having violent arguments with him since then. Sakura summoned more chakra in the soles of her feet to make her move twice as fast as before. This was all her fault. Why was she so worried about Neji being with Rin all the time? Did Rin mean anything to him?

Just then, Sakura felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned her head to see a mask painted as a weasel staring at her. The ANBU nin had his dark bangs framing his face (or mask) and the rest of his hair was in a ponytail at the nape of his neck. Not only was he a whole head and a half taller than her, his body was nothing but muscle.

"Sakura-hime" his deep velvet voice called out.

"Hm?" she answered.

"Are you okay? I have been calling you for the last few minutes and you didn't answer."

"I'm fine."

"Sakura-hime," the nin said, pulling off his mask to reveal his face as Itachi Uchiha. Before Sasuke could find and kill him, he found out that Danzo was the real reason his clan died and Sasuke joined his brother to kill Danzo and Mandara. Both Uchihas now live in Konaha, and they both are Sakura's older over-protective brothers along with Naruto.

Sakura sighed. She didn't know how Itachi knew she was lying because she stopped wearing her heart on her sleeve years ago. Maybe its was just a big brother thing. She pulled her cat mask off as she looked at the older Uchiha.

"Do you think I'm a clingy person?" she asked.

Itachi raised an eyebrow "Why do you think you are a clingy person?"
Sakura gave an irritated sigh " Why do you always answer my questions with a question?"

Itachi smirked "Do my questions bother you?" The kunochi glared at him and he chuckled. "No you're not a clingy person, now answer my question."

"Yes, I do find your 'answering-a-question-with-a-question's annoying." Itachi have her a pointed glare and Sakura laughed. "Relax Tachi-kun, I was just getting back at you,"

Itachi's eyes softened "Why do you think you're a clingy person?"
Sakura nervously bit her lip as she broke eye contact with him. "I don't know...I guess that ever since Rin came to Konaha, Neji's just been spending a lot of time with her...but now every time we're together, we argue. I...I'm...scared." Sakura didn't like showing her weakness to anyone, and this was her first time since her genin days. Maybe her big brother can help her...

Itachi smiled as he flicked her forehead. Sakura rubbed her forehead that she now grew into "Ow! What was that for? I see why Sasuke always complained..." she mumbled at the end.

"You worry to much. Of Neji cares about you just as much as you care about him, then there's nothing to worry about." he said. Sakura nodded in understanding, but still thinks she should apologize at least.

~X~X~

Saku ra hopped off of house roofs heading towards the Hyuga manor still in her ANBU our fit, thankful that Itachi decided that he'll report their mission to lady Tsunade. When she got there, she met a surprised Miki, one of the maids she was familiar with.

"Sakura-san," she said "I didn't know you were back from your mission."

"I just got back tonight," Sakura replied, just realizing that it was late "Is Neji-kun available?" Just then, Sakura saw something flicker in Miki's eyes. Was it pity...or guilt?

Miki nodded "Yes he is, follow me". The Hyuga maid let the pink-haired kunochi to room that had rice paper doors. As soon as they got there, Miki left. 'Strange...' Sakura thought.

As soon as Sakura opened the door, she felt her heart being constructed in a small space. There, sitting in the middle of the room on a couch was Neji and Rin making out.

AN: Review PLEASE! I'm begging here! I need some kind of motivation to carry on! Oh-and happy Valentines Day. :)
